Leviticus 26:32 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:32

And I will bring the land into desolation
The whole country of Judea, cities, towns, villages, fields, vineyards through the ravage and plunder of the enemy; and they being driven out of it, and carried captive from it, and so the land left untilled, and become barren and unfruitful: and your enemies which dwell therein;
having destroyed them, or cast them out, and sent them into other countries, and took possession of theirs in their room; shall be astonished at it;
at the desolation of the land, that such a fruitful country, a land flowing with milk and honey, should be turned into barrenness, for the wickedness of its inhabitants, and shall be amazed at the judgments of God upon them and that.

Leviticus 26:32 In-Context

30 And I will destroy your high places, and I will cut down your incense altars, and I will place your corpses on your idols' corpses; and my inner self shall abhor you.
31 And I will lay your cities [in] ruins, and I will lay waste your sanctuaries; and I shall not smell your [sacrifices'] appeasing fragrance.
32 And I myself will lay waste the land, and your enemies who are living in it shall be appalled over it.
33 And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw a sword behind you; and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a ruin.
34 Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days of its lying desolate, and you [shall be] in the land of your enemies; then the land shall rest, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths.
